Looking for ways to make seasons change faster

[Friedmutant]

My WIP mod implements some logic when seasons change.  I'm looking for ways to make those changes occur faster for testing.
The debug option, "fast ecology" I think it's called, isn't near fast enough.
I have some ideas, but don't know if they are possible:

• reduce the number of ticks in a day
• reduce the number of days in a month
• directly set the month & day to arbitrary values

Any help will be much appreciated!

A simple way of doing it would be to set the starting month when starting a new colony.
You can then verify your object reacts correctly to the current season on spawn.

Modifying the seasonal system seems quite hard for now.

Ouch.  That's rough.  Thanks for the suggestion though--it does solve half the problem: transitioning into a season.  But then there's a long time to wait for the next change.

Hmm...these GenDate.DaysPerMonth and the like are constants.  If I can find them in the binary, then I can change them.  I was really hoping for a secret XML file.
